Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall C+
ValueC- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A mixed bag for the Panthers, and a C+ to match.

The tape said wait; the Panthers did not. Aiden Fisher went at slot 83, a good 148 picks before the board was ready. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

Landing Trigg that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. They went 5 of 9 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Monroe Freeling
In No. 19 they get a cornerstone up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Anthony Hill Jr.
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 19, where Anthony Hill Jr. graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick83 Rnd3 Aiden Fisher
Aiden Fisher at the 83rd overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119 Rnd4 Sam Hecht
Sam Hecht in slot 119 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick156 Rnd5 Eric Rivers
Taking Eric Rivers in the 156th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick157 Rnd5 Malik Benson
The board fumbled Malik Benson all the way to pick 157, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198 Rnd6 Robert Henry Jr.
Robert Henry Jr. in pick No. 198 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick235 Rnd7 Michael Trigg
Michael Trigg at the 235th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
